Well, to be honest, it wasn't by reading the Bible.
No, my knowledge of Jesus, and His crucifixion, arrives out of cultural osmosis and the school syllabus.
Now don't take this the wrong way. But do you and others who say the exact same thing realize just how crazy that sounds? You don't trust the word of a HOLY God as inspired men of Him have written down. But you trust what other sinful men and scholars say?
That's called idolatry in its simplest form.
And, one other source. The doctors seem to think I was psychotic (read, insane) at the time, but the fact is, I really know what it is like to have your life demanded of you in exchange for 'saving the world'. I survived, but only because Jesus didn't, had gone before, and already paid the price so I wouldn't have to. I am not quite sure what mysticism is, or the difference between that and madness, but I do know that experience changed my outlook profoundly.
But that doesn't mean I am bound to accept everything He (allegedly) said without question.
No one said to not question. That's part of growing in relationship with Christ. But if folks have had the faith to accept Him as Savior, somewhere along the way they had to trust what His word says.
So I ask again, if you have depended on cultural osmosis and schooling for your knowledge of Jesus, where do you think the culture and schools got their information?
